At this point, Lee Yeonju, who is responsible for filming Bae Juhyun's personal variety show, is quite experienced.

Before invited friends arrive, Bae Juhyun meticulously prepares food, sometimes focusing so much that she forgets she's filming her personal variety show.

However, an overly strong competitive spirit doesn't always work well.

Overall, this decision isn't very favorable to Bae Juhyun, but it's quite advantageous for Liu Xin'an.

Fans! A small flaw like this, everyone will understand.

"Do I really have a lot of fans?"

"My suggestion is that you open a personal Instagram account. This way, at the very least, you'll have a direct sense of it. But if you open an account, there might be some annoying people leaving comments, so you'll need to consider that."

Liu Xin'an still underestimated his charm. No wonder, he's the man who even captured Bae Juhyun's heart. Showing a bit of charm occasionally and catching some fangirls is quite simple.

"I'll look into it when I get back."

Meanwhile, while the meeting was taking place, Bae Juhyun was already sitting beside Son Seungwan, resting her cheek in her hand, looking gloomily out the window.

At this moment, they were already on the plane, patiently waiting for takeoff, heading to the first stop of their European trip.

"Here."

Such a long flight is hard to endure without snacks, so as soon as they sat down, Son Seungwan casually took out snacks and handed them to Bae Juhyun beside her.

Bae Juhyun didn't stand on ceremony, munching together for a while, when a camera was thrust in front of them.

On trips like this, they usually film some behind-the-scenes clips, later to be posted on the official account as benefits for fans. This time is no exception.

Holding the camera was Kang Seulgi sitting in the front seats. Since the plane hadn't taken off yet, it was still a relatively free time.

"Talk about your thoughts on this trip~"

Temporarily acting as the host, Kang Seulgi smilingly asked their captain.

With the camera on, Bae Juhyun quickly adjusted her demeanor, showing a gentle smile.

"It's been a long time since we had an activity like this... I'm very excited and looking forward to it."

"Eh~ Are you really excited? How come I feel Juhyun unnie looks a bit glum?"

Bae Juhyun was taken aback, while Son Seungwan sitting next to her instantly noticed Kang Seulgi's intention.

Additionally... She noticed the indicator light on the camera that signals it's recording wasn't lit.

In other words, Kang Seulgi was deliberately teasing Bae Juhyun.

Realizing this, the 94line quickly reached a tacit understanding, with Son Seungwan also showing a mischievous smile, echoing Kang Seulgi's question, probing Bae Juhyun further.

"Is it because someone didn't come along, so Juhyun unnie is feeling down?"

Bae Juhyun didn't catch on immediately, but Son Seungwan's words made her flustered.

She hadn't thought that the two were talking about Liu Xin'an but assumed Son Seungwan was referring to Park Sooyoung.

Actually, there had always been fans somewhat unhappy with Park Sooyoung not joining their activities. But... sending Sooyoung off to film a drama was the company's decision, as artists, they really don't have much right to refuse.

Fans might chatter, but such comments that sound like complaints absolutely must not come from them.

Suddenly, Bae Juhyun's expression changed, someone who was always smiling before now frowned, looking discontentedly at Son Seungwan who said those words.

"Seungwan, what are you talking about?"

Luckily, this was just recording, they could edit it anytime later.

The girl group definitely cannot expose any conflict, even though... not long ago she just had an argument with Kang Seulgi.

"Isn't that right? Maybe about a certain Mr. Liu."

The teasing filled with laughter finally made Bae Juhyun realize that Son Seungwan is not someone who randomly jokes in a formal setting. Her teasing about Liu Xin'an now indicates this recording... is fake!

Bae Juhyun, both smiling and annoyed, raised her hand to tap Kang Seulgi's forehead.

With a cry of pain, Kang Seulgi grinned and put down the handheld camera: "It's rare for us to have a performance abroad, please be a bit happier."

"I'm not unhappy at all."

"Your face is drooping like that. Where's our once vivacious captain? All I see is a self-pitying... grumbler?"

Bae Juhyun snorted lightly, after a moment, her own brows furrowed: "Is it really that obvious?"

The two agreed silently, as Kim Yerin sitting beside Kang Seulgi in the front row also took off her headset, turned to join in the fun: "Question, Red Velvet vs. Liu Xin'an, who's more important!"

"Hey!"

Bae Juhyun playfully scolded, finding it utterly incomparable.

The members wouldn't make her break up with Liu Xin'an for the group, nor would Liu Xin'an make her quit Red Velvet for him.

There's no need to choose one over the other, both are treasures she cherishes.

"If I answer Liu Xin'an, what's your reaction?"

"Probably mad enough to toss you straight off the plane."

"Wow—is that exaggerated?"

"We've over a decade of bond, Liu Xin'an at most just a year and a half!"

"Exactly!"

Bae Juhyun smiled, she certainly wouldn't compare the two.

However, it's now time for her to seriously work with the members, so... she shouldn't be distracted thinking about Liu Xin'an.

"Let's stop goofing around, Seulgi, get ready to shoot."

"Juhyun unnie is all set?"

Bae Juhyun raised an eyebrow, reverting to everyone's familiar captain.

"What, there's never been an issue, let's focus on shooting and prepare to work"

"Yes!" X3
